Honda Finally Takes Covers Off Their New Type-R

Honda’s model range has slowly dwindled over the years, but Type-R always gave them added gravitas.

Several models had the Type-R treatment but the Civics are the lasting legacy, so Honda had better hope the new one lives up to the long and illustrious history.

The new Civic Type-R hatchback promises to elevate driving performance, but we’ll be the judge of that.

The exterior design team added wide guards that are shaped to aid flow from the side panels and enhance aerodynamic performance by controlling air flow that continues uninterrupted from front to rear.

Colours include the familiar Championship White, with Sonic Grey Pearl newly added to the line-up.

The interior has go-fast red seats and floor carpets, and “noiseless”, black-toned interior panels that enable the driver to focus on driving.

The front seats have a three-dimensional polyhedral form that hugs the body even on tight racing circuits with the Type-R at full tilt. They been lavished with a low-slip suede-like covering to keep the riders steady on high-G situations.

Type-R adds +R mode-exclusive touch to the standard display. The primary focus gives the driver only the data necessary for sporty driving. The upper part of the meter displays key information like the rev indicator and gear position indicator. The lower part works as a multi-information display that can show other vehicle information as selected by the driver.

The development team promises:

1) “Fastest,” representing the pursuit of overwhelming speed and being the fastest FF (front engine/front-wheel-drive) vehicle by refining and perfecting every aspect of driving feel offered by the vehicle;

2) “Addictive Feel” representing the goal to achieve dynamics that make the driver feel “addicted” to driving the vehicle by offering a thrilling driving experience; and

3) “Secure Feel,” representing the goal to ensure high-speed stability and a complete feeling of trust.

Type R outperforms all previous Type R models, with a 2.0-litre VTEC Turbo engine exclusively for Type R.

In addition, through utilisation of Honda LogR (which provides real-time information on the mechanical movements of the vehicle and vehicle behavior resulting from the driver’s input), the all-new Civic Type R will provide the driver with enhanced driving pleasure and a sense of “oneness” between the driver and the vehicle – this includes the sharing of driving videos and helping the driver improve their driving skills.

The all-new Civic Type R is scheduled to arrive in Australia in early 2023. Further details will be announced closer to launch.
